What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.

The monatomic ions of Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all singly charged. In what major way do they differ? Why?
insens350 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form F^- ions.

If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form Na^+ ions.

Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
